The larger foraminifera have been found abundantly in the borings that have been put down for oil and water throughout the State. They also occur in several outcrops. The genera restricted to the Lower Miocene of Victoria include-Lepidocyclina, Cycloclypeus, Trillina, and Hofkerina. These are usually found associated with the more widely ranging large forms as Amphistegina, Operculina, Carpenteria, Gypsina, and Planorbulinella, there being definitely restricted species of the last two genera. These restricted species are found in friable polyzoal limestones and marls, and in hard limestones. In this Bulletin, no attempt is made at systematic descriptions of the foraminifera. It is more in the nature of an attempt to help the field geologist to locate himself in the Tertiary sections throughout Victoria.Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)ownerCommonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)02 6249 996602 6249 9960Cnr Jerrabomberra Ave and Hindmarsh DrGPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.aucustodianasNeededGA PublicationBulletinEarth SciencesAustralian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC)2008-03-31+11:00publicationAustralian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/1297.0Main%20Features32008?opendocument&tabname=Summary&prodno=1297.0&issue=2008&num=&view=owner9780642483584otherRestrictionslicenselicenseotherRestrictionsCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licenceunclassifiedengutf8geoscientificInformation141.0150.0-39.5-34.0pdfUnknownGeoscience Australia+61 2 6249 9966+61 2 6249 9960GPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.audistributoronLinehttp://www.ga.gov.au/corporate_data/199/Bull_002.pdfWWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--downloadBull_002.pdfDownload the file (pdf) [2 MB]downloaddatasetUnknownunclassified
